| Research Abstract |
Reductive chemical reactions are useful for biomass utilization and biomass transformation to petro-chemical compounds. Reductive metabolisms of fatty acids and organic acids were screened in microorganisms and the reactions, enzymes, and genes involved in the metabolisms were analyzed. Furthermore, the reactions were applied to functional lipid (conjugated fatty acids, hydroxyl fatty acids, and partially saturated fatty acids) production and fatty alcohol production.
